[$] The second half of the 7.0 merge window

Date:
Mon, 23 Feb 2026 19:36:49 +0000

Description:
The 7.0 merge window closed on February 22 with 11,588 non-merge commits total,
3,893 of which came in after the article covering the first half of the merge window . The changes in the second half were weighted toward bug fixes over
new features, which is usual. There were still a handful of surprises, however, including
89 separate tiny code-cleanup changes from different people for the rtl8723bs driver, a number that surprised Greg Kroah-Hartman. It's unusual for a WiFi-chip driver to receive that much
attention, especially a staging driver that is not yet ready for general use.
